Embossed cookies
{Embossed cookies}
Preparation time: 20 min
Cooking time: 15 min
Yield: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 400 g flour
- 125 g sugar
- 200 g butter, cold and diced
- 1 egg
- 1 pinch of salt
Directions
- In a medium mixing-bowl, mix together all ingredientes to form a ball.
- Divide the dough in two or three, and gather each portion into a slightly flattened ball.
- Working with one ball of dough at a time, roll it out between two baking papers to a thickness of maximum 0,3 cm.
- Place an embossing mat (or crochet mat) on top of the dough, and using rolling pin, lightly roll over mat to imprint dough. Carefully remove mat.
- Freeze dough for 30 minutes, or place on the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
- Use a round cookie cutter to cut out cookies, and transfer them on a prepared baking sheet. Freeze for another 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350ºF and slip cookies into the oven to bake for 10 minutes, until just slightly golden at the edges. Transfer on a rack to cool completely, and keep in a tin box in a dry place
NOTES:
- If you do not have an embossing mat, or crochet mat, you might used an
embossed glass, or a decorative rolling pin - To keep from burning the bottom of your cookies or over baking, use a double pan

I love your idea and your pictures are so beautiful!
Oh these are so gorgeous and girly! I wish I had an embossing mat…:)
The first thing i would make with this mixer is the dough i would need to make my moms strufela. It is llttie fried dough like balls that you put honey and holiday sprinkles on!! Its a tradition i have kept every holiday season since she passed away in 1994. This would so help me out i have wanted one of these mixers for about ummm ten years!!!
Great decorating idea! They look so elegant… I’ll have to keep my eye out for crochet mats.
Love these cookies. I really like the technique.
I made some that are very similar but with a very different technique.
